MNT Internship Program


The Nailcare Academy Internship Program provides instruction on how to obtain and complete a forty-hour internship with a podiatrist. The value of an Internship is in seeing what your clients experience when going to a podiatrist, in learning how to communicate with physicians, and in how to work comfortably in a medical environment within your scope of practice.
The ANT and Wellness Programs are prerequisites to this program.

Electric Filing Nailcare Training

Using an E-File in
Hand and Foot Care


This foundational course in the safe use of an electric file for hand and foot care services is a great place for licensed nail technicians to become comfortable with an e-file. Mastering the use of an electric file requires both theory and understanding of the principles, but also hands-on training.

Cosmetic Foot Care in a Medical Setting

This course is written especially for podiatrists or other medical providers who want to bring a nail technician into their busy practices with the least amount of hassle. Wellness Pedicures and other cosmetic services can also be added. A step-by-step track is described.

Nail Technicians Working with Physicians

Nail Technicians Working with Physicians

Techs learn to be a physician’s extender to relieve the doctor of the routine foot care (cosmetic level) in a medical setting. This program will also support technicians in their decision-making process for working with a physician, or not. Working in a medical setting is different!

I recommend taking all of the courses available through Nailcare Academy They will change your life with new confidence, attitude, a higher level of professionalism & the added respect from doctors and members of the medical community. Janet McCormick & Karen Hodges are both very passionate. As well as hands-on, they are always available to assist you.
Kari LecroyANT, MNT
I’d just like to say how wonderful it was to have Janet and Karen be so responsive to me when I called for anything. The course taught me so much and has given me so many different business ideas. I’ve been telling my clients all about the program and they are so excited. Also I’ve been able to detect problems in my clients and are better able to refer them to a physician.
Faith M TaylorANT
As a nail tech, I love that throughout this program any questions, concerns, or problems I had, the team is always available to help us. I also really like the FB page. So much encouragement. TY Nailcare Academy. I picked the Best school out there!!! Hands down!
Jesie SicklesteelANT, FNT
I wish more people in the industry knew about courses like this so that they can further their career in what at first seemed like a disintegrating occupation. I’ll be able to help those around me, and future employees, to maintain a safe salon to the best of my knowledge. Also I’ll be able to educate clients on how to discern between a safe and clean salon, and one’s that aren’t so that they can take their health into their own hands.
Tony DoANT
I would like to say taking the Nailcare Academy courses was the best thing I have ever done in my life. It really changed me. I never knew how much I’d learn doing my internship with a Podiatrist and learning about diabetes and etc. Please sign up today and take these courses.
Gloria HaleyANT, MNT
The information Nailcare Academy has included in this training is above and beyond my expectations. The in-depth information of the modules really places the student at a level that is sure to bring our industry to a higher level of professional. Further, as an educator I stress continued education, client protection, infection control, and above any other program of its kind, Nailcare Academy is dedicated to the student and their growth. Thank you for all the work preparing and delivering such an incredible education.
